Kidnapping the Hero Party

93. The Demon King’s Attack! The Hero party is dangerous (1)

93. Attack of the Demon King! The Hero party is dangerous (1)

‘Many people died.’

Magi spread widely in the city by the Demon King.

Ordinary people who could not resist the demon became corpses and rolled on the floor.

The corpses all exploded from the inside.

I shouted to the Hero party.

“You’d better cover your eyes. Everyone, cover your eyes with your hands.”

“… ”

“… ”

ugh-

The children raised their hands to their eyes without answering.

Luna’s hands were shaking differently than she was confident.

It seems that he did not foresee that this situation would unfold before his eyes.

‘… My heart hurts for nothing.’

How to overcome it though.

If you see this catastrophe and hesitate to move forward.

The Brave Party won’t be able to grow any more.

As I walked among the corpses, I headed towards the dark place.

And, right next to me, unexpected people followed.

“Hare, Saten? Why didn’t you cover your eyes?”

“Hey, if I cover my eyes… My hearing is sensitive… He, I’ll just stay open… ”

but.

When I close my eyes, my other senses are amplified.

Hare looked shocked, but less shocked than Luna and Estiya.

And Saten…

“Saten, you look good.”

“Yes, I am fine. It’s the first time I’ve seen so many corpses, and I’m curious.”

“curiosity?”

“Yes, corpses with their bodies exploded. What was the exact number of magical powers of those corpses? The kamnyanggi didn’t explode, but on what basis did the person explode? I’m more curious about that.”

“… ”

Saten can’t feel any emotions even when she sees a corpse.

Saten was looking at the exploded people as subjects.

‘Is Saten regarded as a test subject, not a human being, now that those corpses have lost their lives… ‘

It’s a creepy way of thinking.

However, it cannot be spit out in words.

Because Saten doesn’t genuinely see those corpses as human beings.

‘I don’t have time to tell you it’s wrong… ‘

I turned back and looked at Estiya.

Estiya was walking blindfolded, but she was far behind Luna.

“Uh, uh… Whoa, I’m scared… Go, I don’t want to go… ”

Estiya was shaking and eating a lot of fear.

I grabbed her shoulder, seemingly reminiscent of trauma.

“… I’ll go with you, so don’t be afraid to go forward.”

“Um, what should I do about being scary, brother… I, I want to go home… I hate… ”

“… If we don’t go, there will be more victims, and eventually the Demon King will come to visit us.”

to prevent that.

We’ll have to go to the demon king who called us.

That guy was no different from holding the citizens of Henentia hostage.

So we…

[The center of Henensia! Go to the square. The Demon King is there! But beware! Because the power of the grimore remnants and the demon lord are still the same!]

[One. Goes.]

[2. does not go.]

“… Everyone, follow me, I will go to the plaza.”

How to solve a problem in order to solve the situation.

Minerva will solve the problem.

I just need to meet the problem.

That’s how I led the party of warriors and walked down the street lined with corpses.

Even at such a moment, Estiya was still shocked.

“I want to go back… Let’s go back… me, i’m scared… ”

Unable to overcome the fear, he continued to tremble.

Looking at Estiya like that.

Is this really the right solution?

I couldn’t be sure about that myself.

***

scared.

scared…

I’m so scared…

“Uh, uh… ”

“Estiya! Don’t be still and do something!”

“I, I don’t know… Ugh, ugh… ”

Estiya crouched in the corner and covered her ears.

The fear could not be easily overcome, and a familiar smell continued to pierce her nostrils.

“My, the smell… ”

“What!?”

“My, I smell… That, the smell I smelled back then… ”

Tremble-

The unforgettable smell.

The smell of blood that emanated from prison every day.

The smell of blood on the street sent Estiya back to the past.

It was as if he had become small again like he was a child.

Even though my colleagues are fighting against the sloth’s grimoire.

Estiya couldn’t even offer a little help.

“Luna. Don’t separate from Estiya. I’ll sort out the rest.”

“Okay, mister! Estiya! Sit there! We will help!”

Get out of the way!

These black guys!

“Aww-!!”

Luna protected Estiya from the running Grimore.

She was able to take on Grimoire one-on-one, and with the help of others she was able to overcome it easily.

“Watch out for your back, Luna.”

“Oh, thank you! Saten!”

“… I didn’t mean to be praised by you.”

haha.

Ho Ho.

Luna felt the same fear as Estiya at first.

However, Luna overcame her reluctance and moved forward.

‘Don’t let more people get hurt! that, and! It will be of help to you! The Demon King is dead!’

The basis for moving forward is the time of arduous training.

Luna was confident and coordinated with the party members.

As they went through actual battles, their teamwork became more and more solidified.

But.

“You have to run… The friend who left for the place where this smell emanated… all dead… ”

Recalling memories of the past, Estiya gradually stepped back into the corner.

I thought in my head that it should help.

Estiya couldn’t walk forward.

Lee Jun-woo, who was glancing at that figure during the battle, thought to himself.

‘Has it become an obstacle after all?’

Although I was expecting it.

I didn’t know it would be like that.

Estiya is traumatized and unable to do anything.

Even though it was a saint who did not learn even divine power, it was not helpful at all.

We couldn’t leave her behind for safety reasons and because it was a hero’s party.

‘… If this is the case, it may be more difficult than you think. I might have to leave my luggage with Luna.’

Did you read Junwoo Lee’s dark thoughts?

Minerva handed me a solution process.

[Estiyah is not helpful at all. Really, she’s a useless saint. When the other kids walk forward. Estiya walked back. So, I have to give Estiya a ‘chance’ to walk again, right?]

[One. give a chance.]

[2. Don’t give me a chance.]

hmmm.

I was told to spare the answer, but this time I have to write it.

After much deliberation, Lee Jun-woo chose one answer.

‘Check answer number 1’.

The answer is to check if Estiya can take the opportunity.

In Lee Jun-woo’s sight, a book to the end quickly unfolded.

‘… sorry’

Unfortunately, No. 1 was telling Estiya that it was the answer.

It may not be the answer for others.

Estiyah was given an opportunity through the process.

‘If this is an unavoidable answer, I will have to accept it.’

Destroy all grimore remnants.

before heading to the center.

Lee Jun-woo whispered into Luna’s ear.

“… Luna.”

“Hey, hey… ! What, what, all of a sudden… ! Your ears are itchy… !”

“At last. Hold Estiya’s hand.”

“yes? what is that-“

“I said.”

Lee Jun-woo left Luna with those words.

What does that mean? Luna thought to herself.

“… Were you scared like me?”

I couldn’t find the answer on my own.

Luna took the hand of Estiya, who had fallen alone behind her.

“ruler! let’s go! Let’s follow him!”

“… ”

“Usually noisy! Why are you so dead, Estiya! You are not the answer! than that, uncle! let’s go together!”

Hodak-

Luna led Estiya and followed Junwoo Lee.

At that time, if I had known what he meant.

It was clear that Luna was desperately trying to stop it.

***

The demon king of sloth.

slow

He was lying on the fountain in the square, enjoying the flow of water.

“It’s annoying… When is the hero party coming… ”

“Looking at the loss of contact with some believers. It is presumed to be coming.”

“okay… ? It will take quite some time though… When am I going home… uh… ”

Sloth sighed.

He looks pathetic if he doesn’t know that he is a Demon King.

However, Grimore’s follower spoke without losing respect.

“Maybe, the prophecy. Can you tell what’s written on the grimoire of sloth?”

“… to bother you.”

Still, my life is at stake.

Sloth overcame the annoyance and read Grimoire.

“What, nothing has changed… All demon lords die the same… ? Oh, I added one instead… ”

“May I ask what was added?”

“ah… that protector… ? They say he’ll die at my hands… ”

Sloth mumbled as if he wasn’t interested.

However, his apostle next to him was quite concerned.

‘I couldn’t avoid death, but is it because I killed the guardian of the hero party?’

no.

That would not be it.

To create the world the Demon Lord wants.

it shouldn’t be like this

The apostle of sloth to escape from the prophetic books.

He whispered to Sloth.

“Demon Lord Sloth.”

“… uh.”

“You called the party of warriors outside with the manifestation of power. However, if it comes too easily, our odds will fall.

“therefore… ?”

“You do it right.”

if you don’t want to work.

You have to work hard.

A creature living a paradoxical life.

“You have to work to live. You have to work hard to quit your job. So, please use your authority properly.”

Born from a paradoxical life, Sloth, the demon king of indolence, got up.

Then he stretched out his hand towards the sky and said.

“why me… ”

“yes?”

“Why should I… ?”

“That, like that… ! uh, uh… !”

An apostle who vanished from Sloth’s sight in an instant.

Sloth looked down at the floor to see if the powers had been properly manifested.

“Heh, heh… uh… ”

Unlike before, the passion disappears, and the apostle lies on the ground like an earthworm.

Seeing him happy, Sloth lay down again in the fountain.

‘You’re bothering me… ‘

Although he was an apostle who followed him for 20 years and helped him.

Sloth just didn’t want to bother himself.

“I want to go home soon… ”

It was just annoying.
